Fierro Feels a Three-Bet

Level 21 : 10,000/20,000, 3,000 ante

Leonid Bilokur opened to 41,000 with {10-Clubs} {J-Clubs} in the hijack, and the action came to Nicolas Fierro in the small blind. He had a marginal {K-Diamonds} {7-Diamonds}, but it was good enough to make a three-bet to 106,000. Bilokur called, and off they went to the flop

It came {K-Hearts} {7-Hearts} {8-Hearts} to give Fierro two pair, and he bet 144,000 to win the pot.

Lew Doubles Through Metaal Again

Level 21 : 10,000/20,000, 3,000 ante
Randy Lew
Randy Lew

Randy Lew raised to 40,000 in middle position with {A-Spades}{K-Clubs} and Jason Koon three-bet with {q-Spades}{7-Spades} to 86,000 on the button. In the big blind, Govert Metaal looked down at {J-Hearts}{J-Clubs} and four-bet to 230,000. Lew quickly shoved for 372,000 total, Koon folded, and Metaal called to put Lew at risk for a second time.

The {A-Clubs}{4-Diamonds}{3-Hearts} flop paired up Lew to give him the lead. The {Q-Hearts} turn and {5-Hearts} river locked up the double for Lew, giving him 864,000. Metaal slipped down to 608,000.

Koon's Bottom Pair Is Good

Level 21 : 10,000/20,000, 3,000 ante

Nicolas Fierro raised to 42,000 with {5-Diamonds}{4-Diamonds} from middle position and Jason Koon three-bet to 91,000 from the hijack with {q-Clubs}{3-Clubs}. Action folded back to Fierro and he called to see a {10-Diamonds}{6-Clubs}{3-Spades} flop.

Fierro check-called 83,000 from Koon, landing the {J-Clubs} on the turn. Another check from Fierro led to a Koon bet of 176,000. Fierro spent a good three and a half minutes in the tank before opting to call, resulting in the {8-Spades} river. Both checked and no doubt Koon was happy to find his bottom pair was the best hand to win the big pot, upping his stack to about 2,227,000.

Fierro slipped to roughly 845,000.

Randy Lew Eliminated in 8th Place ($108,780)

Level 21 : 10,000/20,000, 3,000 ante
Randy Lew - 8th place
Randy Lew - 8th place

Randy Lew raised to 40,000 in the cutoff with {A-Spades}{K-Clubs} and Nicolas Fierro called from the small blind holding two mystery cards. With {A-Diamonds}{A-Hearts} in the big blind, Jason Koon three-bet to 120,000. Lew four-bet shoved for 816,000, Fierro folded, and Koon called instantly to put Lew at risk.

The {Q-Hearts}{7-Spades}{4-Spades} flop didn't offer Lew much help, but the {8-Spades} turn gave him a flush draw. The river was black, but it was the {2-Clubs} to end Lew's tournament in eighth place.
